A rather frightening amendment has been tacked onto a Federal highway construction bill. Senate Bill 1813, proposed by Democratic Senator Barbara Boxer, includes an amendment that would stop any American citizen from leaving the country based upon a non-judicial determination by the IRS that you owe the Federal government back taxes.

The amendment, Section 40304, was written by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and would authorize the State Department to revoke, deny or limit passports for anyone the Internal Revenue Service certifies as having “a seriously delinquent tax debt in an amount in excess of $50,000.”

Whatever happened to our right to travel? We have become prisoners within our own country, reminiscent of East Germany and the wall.

Constitutional Attorney Angel Reyes says that’s a violation of due process and is unconstitutional.

“It takes away your right to enter or exit the country based upon a non-judicial IRS determination that you owe taxes,” Reyes told FOX Business. “It’s a scary thought that our congressional representatives want to give the IRS the power to detain US citizens over taxes, which could very well be in dispute.”

Financial Adviser Clark Hodges says the measure is especially concerning given the high number of taxpayers it could affect.

“There are so many people that fall into that situation, and I think that’s too invasive. Especially coming out of a bad economy there are a lot of people behind on a lot of things,” he told Fox Business.

Still, the “Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act” or “MAP-21″ passed the Senate in a vote of 74-22, and is now headed for the GOP-controlled house where it’s expected to meet stronger opposition. – Source: FOX Business

This bill has already passed the senate. Please contact your representatives in congress and instruct them to vote no for senate bill 1813 before it is too late.

If you do not act now soon some ignorant socialist congressman will introduce a law to take away your drivers license for some frivolous reason. Seriously it will happen if this bill becomes law.

Also instruct your representatives to vote no for any bill that limits freedom for Americans.

Everyone knows the problem with the deficit is spending. You could take away everyone’s passport and driving license and you still would not be able to fix the deficit.

These soviet style tactics of limiting peoples freedom is going to backfire. As was in the other repressive societies the wealthy and middle class people will just leave the USA permanently and start paying their taxes to another country that does not have soviet style repression. As you should know this is already happening. Many wealthy and middle class people are already leaving the USA.

This bill is causing stress and strife in the country and polarizing the American people. This is never a good situation.

Please instruct your representatives to focus on the problem of spending and stop these repressive tactics that accomplish nothing but the polarization of the people.

Seriously soon some ignorant socialist congressman will attempt to take away the drivers licenses of the American people for some frivolous reason that will accomplish nothing and further erode American values and pride.

There is an ever growing erosion of American pride and an ever increasing embarrassment of being American. Bills and laws that limit American freedom and erode American pride are making the USA the laughing stock of the world.

When I see attachments to bills like the one giving the IRS power to suspend or revoke an Americans right to travel it makes me sick. It makes me feel embarrassed to be an American. Please try to stop the politicians from destroying our country.

Also Instruct your representatives to initiate a bill that makes the ability to travel a right and not just a privilege so the politicians will never be able to do this repressive act in the future. I don’t want the government of my country to be able to limit travel and control Americans like other repressive governments. I want to be free and proud of my country the USA.

Also please instruct your congressman to talk to other congressman to stop this bill from becoming law.

Makes one wonder how many more bills they will pass inorder to control the American people. We have passports which we need to renew. We are not in a position where we owe on our taxes. However, just what willl the IRS put people through in order to get a renewal? Having a passport at this time in our lives doesn’t mean that much to us. I hope that we will not be sorry for this.

The sudden rush of legislation is intended to distract and occupy the time of us and legitimate law makers, yes there are some still left.
Obama can not run on his record and the distractions are needed to keep the masses confused.

So what happens to the civilian contractors who are in direct support of the troops right beside them overseas? If they owe and have set up a payback plan what is to stop the IRS from denying them employment and a way to make a living overseas if they take them away???
